I am Brenda Shoop, that much you know. But who am I really? And what the heck am I doing here?

Well that, my friends, is a very long story that I hope to explore at a later date. All I can say at this point is that I have been truly compelled to do what I've done so far in this journey beyond the veil. I think it's the ascension process to the Christ Consciousness.

During my time in nursing school, I discovered that the real truth about cannabis had not only been kept hidden my entire life, but I was actually lied to by people who said they had my best interests at heart.

Soon after graduating nursing school, I found out that there are big problems with the American judicial system.

I experienced my own crucifixion. The world I knew ended, and I was dead to it. That's a tough one to get over, but here I am on the loving side of forgiveness. Now what?

I grew up learning all the stories of the Bible, and I believe them. One of the most inspiring things I learned as a child is that there is to be a Second Coming of Christ.

I care about people and became a nurse for that very reason. While in nursing school, I learned of nursing theory and the work of Florence Nightingale, "The Lady of the Lamp", who brought light, fresh air, cleanliness, and good nutrition into the hospitals of her day.

Learning how to put these two concepts together to work in healing our spiritual as well as our physical bodies is something I have felt compelled to do. And it somehow feels familiar, like pulling on a comforting sweater.

This world has been in spiritual darkness long enough. A few months ago, it was revealed to me while meditating that it is indeed "after midnight" already.

A new day has dawned and that is where I am now. On the brink of Heaven on Earth. The work that I do is in order with the Divine Plan for the revealing of the mysteries or "divine" truths at the "end of the age."

One of these truths is that cannabis is the Biblical Tree of Life spoken of in the book of Revelation, and we have ready access to it. The answer has been in front of us the entire time!

"and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations"

"The life and health of that blessed world will have been imparted by partaking of that tree; in fact, it was owing to it that they who dwell there had been healed of their spiritual maladies, and had been made to live forever." (Barnes Notes on the Bible)

"These leaves will be for the preserving and continuing the health of the people of God in this state, as the tree of life in Eden's garden was for the preservation of the health and life of Adam, had he continued in a state of innocence; and it denotes that everything in Christ will contribute to the comfort, health, and happiness of the saints." (Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible)

So far, this has been an incredible spiritual journey into how "service to others" manifests on the physical plane of existence. And I'm looking forward to sharing my story with those who may benefit from my experiences and knowledge.

I'm not really a "tree-hugger", I'm a people-hugger. I am a professional nurse, married to Reverend Bruce Shoop, mother of three adults, grandmother of 4, cannabis researcher, master gardener, and forever learning that there's more learning to do

The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield...because it helped me to see how I can stay out of other people's dramas and diffuse potentially negative situations. Also The Secret. If you haven't seen this film...what are you waiting for?
